Words of Wisdom.

They are happy whose natures sort

Longing for goodness does not
bring it. 1t is to be sought with all
the might.
Modesty is to worth what shadows
are in a painting; she gives to
it strength and relief.
Old mems eyes are like old mems
memories; they are strongest for
things long way off.
Men resemble the gods in nothing
so much as in doing good for their
fellow creatures.
You cannot dream yourself into a
character; you must hammer and
forge yourself one.
Initiate time, 1t DESTROYS slowly.
1t undermines, wears. loosens, sepa-
rates. 1t does not uproot.
A weak mind is like a microscope,
which magnifies trifling things, but
cannot receive great ones.

tons now because you failed to keep
some you made last year. Try again
All mankind are happier for hav-

and virtue is the most unfaltering.
Flattery is often traffic of mutual
meanness, where, although both par
ties intend deception, neither are de-
ceiyed, since words that cost little are
exchanged for hopes that cost less.

The Human Hand.

4uo auWdu nduus
Young people have great deal of
trouble with their hands, and COM
NIT many faults with them. When
they 60 upon the platform to speak
a piece, they know not what to do
with those troublesome and super
fuous appendages, unless some good
teacher of elocution has told them /;
and then it is hard to obey his in
junction to "let them alone"
Just to let them hang quietly and
naturally by the side most of the
time. ia very difficult for tyro. A
boys impulse is to get hold of his
coat, tumble with his watch chain. or
make gestures which add no force to
his words. An old teacher of elocu-
ton has given this excellent rule:
"Wben your hands have nothing to
do, do nothing with them let them
hang"
Some boys. yes, and some girls, too,
have world of trouble in keeping
their hands clean. Probably, on this
very day, in the United States, one
hundred thousand mothers have
spoken words like these, in various
tones: "Johnny. what dreadful hands

wash them, sir, at once ~ Johnny
gazes ruefully at what his elder sister
calls his "horrid paws" and wonders
how they could haye acquired their
dismal hue. II is a mystery. He
started clean in the morning at least
he thought he did. and he has only
been to school. Yet look at his
hands! Black as charcoal Dealers,
with nails fearful to behold. Many
boys wonder naturally enough. how
grown people keep their hands clean
all day without taking much trouble
about it. Boys handle every thing,
whether clean or dirty, and half OF
them do not know how to wash their
hands, or how to wipe them dry,
Hands well-washed and perfectly
dried will keep clean four times as
long as hands half-washed and half
dried. Nails, too, are much more
easily kept in good order if they are
attended to frequently and with care
and thoroughness.
Many. indeed, are the faults of the
hands. One of the worst is pointing
the finger of scorn at the faults O
others. Biting the thum was the
Italian method of expressing con
tempt in the days of Romeo ant
juliet, the tragedy of whose Lives
began with their servants biting theil
thumbs at one another. 1t is witt
the hands that boys pinch, scratch
fight and steal. Hamlet called his
hands "pickers and stealers."
But, then, What beautiful and won
derful things the human hand car
do! What lovely pictures it car
paint what enchanting music it car
play what valiant deeds 1t can do
what kind acts it can perform Besl

The public will rem ember that during
the newspaper controversy over the ex-
travagance OF the Aberdeen militia en-
campment with an exhausted appropria-
tion Governor Pierce made speech at
Aberdeen to the troops there assembled.
In this speech he stated that every cent
OF the expenses OF the previons militia
enoampment OF Fargo, in September,
1885. had been paid. In the legislative
council, on the 25th inst, q. w. Camp
bell, member from Aberdeen, introduced
bill "to appropriate funds to pay ex-
'penses incurred by the territorial mill
tia at the territorial encampment at
Fargo, September, 1885" 1t appears
from this that the expenses of the Fargo
encampment were not all paid aud that
deficiency bill is necessary to cover
unpaid liabilities growing out OF that
affair. Is it necessary to deceive the
public upon matter involving the use
OF public funds?

In Duluth soft coal 1etalls at two dol.
lars per ton and hard coal at six dollars
per ton. The probability of connecting
railroad line between this section and
Duluth gives promise OF much cheaper
fuel to our prairie region and this opens
up manufacturing possibilities now en-.
tirely impracticable. The Duluth road
would enable Yankton to increase the
price paid for grain and decrease the
price paid for fuel. The land tributary
to section thus favored would rapidly
increase in value and dense settlement
of the farming region about us would be
the result. The Duluth project becomes
the most important project in sight.

st. Cloud (Minn. J Journal. Press, in an
article relative to the Duluth railroad,
now building sopthwestwardly through
st. Cloud to Sioux Falls, with Yankton
as an objective point. The st. Cloud
paper says:
The bill does not affect waterways,
and therefore the road that has the short.
est line to lake or ocean port will get
the freight. It is just here that Minne-
sofa will reap she benefit. as Duluth is
the nearest lake pert for all the country
west OF us, including Nebraska, Colorado
and all the vast territory west and north,
and as discriminating IN favor OF long
hauls will not be allowed, all the west,
ern freight that has gone east and been
received via Chicago will hereafter GO
via Duluth.

1 the lake shore at Duluth is 1856 miles
more than 200 miles less than the dis
itanae between Yankton and Chicago, III

all the region between Yankton and

it appears that short bauls have o de-
